Pointe – Dawn Jackson, Floeur Alder

POINTE is a captivating documentary about Australian dancer Floeur Alder, daughter of ballet legends Lucette Aldous and Alan Alder. At 22, about to embark on her European dance career, she survives a brutal stabbing by a stranger outside her home. While the physical wounds heal, the trauma stirs turbulent memories from her past, sparking a deeply personal quest to find her place in the dance world.

POINTE, Dancing On a Knife’s Edge, is a poetic, unflinching portrait of this courageous artist, her remarkable family and the power of creativity to heal even the deepest wounds.

Floeur Alder, and Dawn Jackson, the documentary’s director and producer, joined Danae Gibson on Artbeat to discuss the film-making process, connecting over their experiences in the ballet world, and approaching documentary production with compassion for its subjects.

POINTE premieres at CinefestOZ on 31 August.
